MACULAR DISEASE TREATMENT

What is anti-VEGF treatment?

Anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatments are a group of medicines which reduce new blood vessel growth or oedema (swelling). They are given by an injection into the eye to reduce the risk of scarring and damage to the retina caused by these new vessels, which in turn can help to avoid further sight loss and for some people cause an improvement in vision.
